Description: |
Two slashes in paths are only sometimes reduced to a single slash. This inconsistent behavior contradicts the aim that "file normalize" returns 'the “standard” format for the native platform'. This is seen at least with tcl 8.6.6 and Tcl 8.7a0 on MacOS X and Linux. % file normalize //foo //foo % file normalize //foo/ /foo % file normalize ///foo /foo % file normalize /foo//bar /foo/bar % file normalize //foo/bar //foo/bar % file normalize //foo//bar /foo/bar % file normalize //foo/bar/ /foo/bar % set tcl_patchLevel 8.6.6 | |||
